I am not sure whether I agree with the "idiocy" part,
but nothing is wrong with your "am not going to click" part.

You decide how you spend your time. The person that asks
for some form of confirmation decides how he wants to spend
his time.

He is not necessarily an idiot. I receive several hundred
spam mails a day. Without some form of filtering one wastes
too much time. Different people experiment with different
forms of filtering. For personal mail the "confirmation"
question, asked only once, may be appropriate. For mailing
lists it doesnt work so well, but it is his choice to not
receive mail for which the senders do not confirm.
